Rensa will welcome Link to the stable and speak about how lively things are here at the Dueling Peaks Stable.[1] Rensa can offer directions to Kakariko Village and he'll also talk about how the Sheikah clan who live there. He talks about how the Sheikah Clan had powerful techniques that put them at odds with the King.[2]

Wild Horses
- Main article: Wild Horses
After speaking with Rensa initially, Link can speak with him once again and Rensa will tell him about Wild Horses. He repeatedly refers to himself as the man who got second place in the Hyrule Horse-Taming Competition, and challenges Link to beat his time. Link must capture a wild horse and bring it back to the stable in under two minutes.[4][5][6]
After successfully doing so, Rensa will be surprised, but will reward Link with a Purple Rupee.[7][8] If Link speaks with him again after this, he mentions that a man who can handle a horse has a leg up on the competition when it comes comes to the ladies.[9]
When talking with Rensa at any point, Link can ask Rensa for more information about Wild Horses. He instructs Link that if he tames one, he can talk to his brother Tasseren to register the horse at the stable. He also mentions that his two twin-sons, Darton and Shibo have a lot of knowledge about horses.[10] Even his two sons make reference to Rensa's second-place finish in the horse-taming competition.[11][12]
Tears of the Kingdom
Rensa is the twin brother of Tasseren, who runs the Dueling Peaks Stable. He can be found standing in front of the counter and welcomes Link to the stable. He mentions that a lot has changed around here laltely and that in particular, the towns are quite different.[13][14] He mentions that Kakariko Village to the north used to be a quiet town, but now it's crowded with both researches and tourists due to the Ring Ruins that have fallen.[15] Rensa also talks about the changes at Hateno Village. He talks about how the town was known for its milk and local produce, but now, ever since Cece became a famous designer, it now the center of fashion.[16]
Rensa also encourages Link to visit the stone statues near the summit of the Dueling Peaks. However, he advises that there is no clear road and that it is not an easy trek to climb the Dueling Peaks.[17]
